So I made this PVC rail and it turned out amazing. If anyone is thinking about making one I'd go with this. Its 10 ft long 4 ft tall.

An edit I put together of it in action. Don't hate too much. I know it's shit. It was like a half day of filming. But great rail

I think that four feet is way too tall, at least it is if you dont have that much snow. I would have built it shorter. Looks pretty sturdy except for the middle, it kinda bends when you slide it. It probs wont break though. Have fun.

I can 450 out of my first PVC rail.. it's no more than 2 feet tall... It's in the technique, for the most part.

It's not strong enough, make it strong enough that you can hit it like an axle stall and then it won't break.

Riding it hard is not doing straight slides over and over. It will break under the strain of a 270 on or someone bailing on top and to the side of it.

My rail has 8 horizontal supports (4 on each side) and then cross suports underneath (3 x's). It weighs a pissload but it's not going to break.

This. You definitely need more supports in there man, its clear in that first close up shot you have when you can see it sink in. You dont want that.

Seems a little to tall. In situations where where you don't have a lot of snow/speed, it will be harder to hit/sesh it. Also, you'll regret it only being ten feet long, way to short, coming from a guy who originally made a 10-footer as well.

4 feet is really high, and 10 feet is really short
